I am not in Kansas anymore and sometimes they call me Boo.
Theatre juggler of all things. Love, Art and Community are my guides. Seeker and friend of all wise and courageous beings. Lovers of ants, magnolias and of birds and trees who were there first anyway.
Starting a new life in San Francisco where they say I will get a Masters in Psychology/Drama Therapy.
Married to the love of my life, I am also married to the ocean. My family is scattered in Seattle, Atlanta, New York and France. Some of them are even in L.A.
Wherever I go, there I am.
Maybe I'll see you there too.
can you forgive me a fault?
can you carry a small burden in our friendship?
i have dysfunctional memory recall.
i don't just misplace pens and keys,
i also misplace your lovingkind heart.
and just like standing cold and keyless
outside my warm home's locked door,
i sometimes feel like a stranger
locked out of your compassionate heart
can you overlook my mental dys-ability,
even if some of it is of my own creation?
can you be gentle with me
as i re-train my mind to better re-member
the timeless love flowing through my heart?
i completely own the cause of my dysfunction;
i completely avow my response-ability for this defilement.
and i bow myself down before you, dearOne
asking for your patience and your forgiveness
for the difficulty my dysfunction causes us both
as we walk our path, returning Home.
i love you.
one day i will be whole.
i devote myself to supporting your return to wholeness,
as part of creating wholeness within myself,
i love you.
one day we will be whole, together.
may it so be, starting here, starting now,
amen.
..
This poem, written in response to a struggle I have in my closest friendships, expresses something I am feeling as a friend of all my friends. So I offer it as a metta-comment offering to all my friends.
A FRIEND: THE SEVEN QUALITIES WORTH ASSOCIATING WITH by: The Buddha
Monks, a friend endowed with seven qualities is worth associating with. Which seven? He gives what is hard to give. He does what is hard to do. He endures what is hard to endure. He reveals his secrets to you. He keeps your secrets. When misfortunes strike, he doesn't abandon you. When you're down & out, he doesn't look down on you. A friend endowed with these seven qualities is worth associating with. "
..He gives what is beautiful,
hard to give,
does what is hard to do,
endures painful, ill-spoken words.
His secrets he tells you,
your secrets he keeps.
When misfortunes strike,
he doesn't abandon you;
when you're down & out,
doesn't look down on you.
A person in whom these traits are found,
is a friend to be cultivated
by anyone wanting a friend. (Anguttara Nikaya 7. 35; link to online source: accesstoinsight. org)..
May we each resolve to be the kind of friend with one another that is truly a splendid gift to give another, especially one we love. May we make our friendship a devotional offering of love to the universe.
This is my prayer today, for me and all my friends.

Please Forgive Me, dearOne
by: Noa Traylokya
a note to my dearOnes:
can you forgive me a fault?
can you carry a small burden in our friendship?
i have dysfunctional memory recall.
i don't just misplace pens and keys,
i also misplace your lovingkind heart.
and just like standing cold and keyless
outside my warm home's locked door,
i sometimes feel like a stranger
locked out of your compassionate heart
can you overlook my mental dys-ability,
even if some of it is of my own creation?
can you be gentle with me
as i re-train my mind to better re-member
